Stuck in My Head: The Ting Tings' "That's Not My Name"
What's that you say? What exactly is a Ting? Well it's just so many tings:
1. an administrative unit in the Qin and Han dynasties in China, 10x10 li in area
2. a carbonated grapefruit beverage popular in the Caribbean
3. a cellular phone service marketed by the South Korean firm SK Telecom
4. the sound a bell makes
5. slang in the trading card game Magic: The Gathering for a lucky draw
6. the name of a really fun new band from Manchester
Sure, a lot of bands from Manchester are dark and/or depressing, but not The Ting Tings. Unsigned and on the rise, this boy/girl duo has written one of the catchiest and most fun songs that I have heard in a while.
"That's Not My Name" is pure bubblegum soul music, with lush, layered harmonies and a super contagious hook...guaranteed to have you head-nodding and hand clapping all day!
Also check out the results of their live record sleeve design event. Very cool!
